I woke up late this morning, and was feeling pretty depressed and unmotivated. When I got stuck in traffic and realized I was going to be late for work - again! - I felt like just calling in sick to work, but I sucked it up and went in. I’m so glad I did! The DBT skill “opposite action” has been sooo helpful, as has “building mastery.” I hope these skills can help you too!

Narcissists- especially the covert type - know how to push your buttons and drive you crazy. Gaslighting is a surprisingly effective manipulation tactic. Social media gives toxic people another tool to manipulate you. Trust your instincts!
